Cin Cin goes head to head with Lucky Khao in a legendary cook off: Noodle vs. Pasta

On the 13th June guests witnessed a legendary cook off between two of Brighton’s favourite restaurants in a Battle Royale between us and Lucky Khao in the ultimate event of Noodle vs. Pasta.

Brittany Hart from Restaurants Brighton popped along to the evening and wrote a brilliant piece about her evening, hosted at Lucky Khao.

“Never in my 20 years of being a Brightonian have I encountered a culinary head-to-head that was so epic, so divisive, and yet so uniting, as the Battle Royale between Cin Cin and Lucky Khao: Noodle Vs Pasta!” said Brittany.

She goes on to talk about each of the dishes and said of Round One:

“If you were going to ask me what my favourite two bites in the entire meal were…these were them, and there was absolutely no way to choose between them. Cin Cin came out swinging with a one-two punch of rich, round flavour bombs exploding with just the right amount of crunch-to-cream ratio. Spicy Lamb Ragu encapsulated in a glorious golden crunch of fried risotto, sat atop a shock of green tarragon emulsion, and topped with a grate of gloriously salty parmesan. Lucky Khao served us a smoked chicken dumpling that was so juicy and tender that the dumpling acted like a tiny little soup bowl. Ginger, lemongrass, soy-flavoured smoked chicken mince was wrapped in the most tender dumpling dough; thin, smooth and mouthwateringly memorable.”

And brace yourself for the return leg when Lucky Khao and Cin Cin go ahead to head again, this time hosted on our home turf at Western Road.

We can’t wait for this next culinary explosion as we had so much fun first time round! Exact date to be announced soon.
